Yes it is. Someone just answered a Y!A question with something about this. If you google 'homeschool spain', there are several websites with legal and practical advice, as well as a country-wide support group.

Good luck with the move, what a wonderful opportunity for your family and your children as far as homeschooling goes.

Yes, it is legal. Your right to home educate is protected under Article 27, Section 1 of the Spanish Constitution.

The umbrella group for home education in Spain is called 'Asociacion para la Libre Educacion'; their URL is: http://www.educacionlibre.org
